Chapter 33: Wait
Wait.
One word, pressed firmly to the roof of his mouth, stuck on the tip of his tongue ready to roll out, propelled by air. But it wouldn't come, he grasped the edges of his shirt, twisting the cloth together, willing it away.
Wait.
One step, they moved all on their own, his feet, in not a run and not a walk but something in between. Fingers curled into fists, blood rushed to the tips of his fingers, squeezed into a hot pink, his mind begging, screaming, for a will to call.
Wait.
One thought, simmering in the darkness hovered above him, a temporary salvation. These feelings, this fleeting moment, wasn't supposed to be. He could pretend he could reach out and squash it all into the heat of the past and it'd be done.
Wait.
One memory floods in from the light, sucking all the energy. Laughing, kissing, pulling, feeling; the flutter is endless, settling into the nook of his chest, pushing him forward, faster now, a run. He could feel the ends of his hair whipping madly, slapping against his head, and the wind created by the swing of his arms.
"Wait!" Sasuke called, but it was too late.
I have to admit, I don't remember writing this but hey, I still like it XD so here it is!
